【中央社】憂鬱症被世界衛生組織(WHO)列為21世紀三大疾病之一。台灣成功大學附設醫院家庭醫學部醫師姜明凱說,對多數人來說,都有心情不好、記憶力變差、注意力不集中等經驗,有時思考能力降低減緩,學習力低落,只要兩、三天就改善;但憂鬱症會有情緒、行為、思考等方面的症狀,尤其腦子裡都是負面的思考。
姜明凱指出,憂鬱症盛行率在各地差異性很大,範圍約是5%至25%,終身盛行率(所有人口中,有多少人一生中會罹患憂鬱症)約是15%;全球約有兩億人有憂鬱症,女性發生率約是男性的1.5至兩倍。
他說,台灣憂鬱症人口有年輕化的趨勢,調查顯示,平均發病年齡是24歲,大多數人首次發作症狀輕微,時間也不長,不會接受治療,但八成患者會愈來愈嚴重,不少人有自殺的念頭。
引發憂鬱症,主要是情緒性心理疾病,包括失落、自尊心受損、怨恨、負面思考及認知;但憂鬱症也有遺傳傾向,屬於生物體質因素。
姜明凱說,憂鬱症不僅有情緒、思考、心理的影響,身體也會出現不適症狀,且涵蓋各個系統,例如心臟血管、呼吸系統、消化系統、泌尿系統、生殖系統、骨骼系統、皮膚系統及神經系統等,不能輕忽。
